CORPS EN DEVENIR is more than an association; it is a space dedicated to the exploration of body, mind, and personal well-being. Founded in 1995, in Montpellier, our association has for nearly three decades been committed to helping individuals reconnect with themselves through gentle and accessible body-centered techniques. Our work is grounded in the belief that true balance and resilience come from a harmonious relationship between the physical body and emotional self.
From the very beginning, our approach has focused on offering methods that are not only effective but also inclusive and adaptable. Every person who joins us is welcomed into an environment where judgment is absent and self-expression is encouraged. Whether you are an adult, a teenager, or someone facing physical or emotional challenges, CORPS EN DEVENIR provides a safe, respectful space to explore techniques that promote relaxation, awareness, and personal growth.
Our team is composed of experienced practitioners, educators, and facilitators who share a common passion: supporting individuals in their journey toward well-being. Each member of our team brings a unique perspective and skill set, yet all are united by the same philosophy—that personal transformation is possible when one reconnects with the body and mind in a mindful and compassionate way.
Over the years, we have witnessed the profound impact that our methods can have. Many of the people who come to CORPS EN DEVENIR report not only physical improvements but also greater emotional resilience, enhanced clarity, and a renewed sense of purpose. We have seen stress transform into calm, anxiety evolve into confidence, and disconnection give way to a deeper understanding of oneself. These outcomes are not accidental; they are the result of a carefully designed approach that integrates gentle body techniques with attentive listening, reflection, and guidance.
Our Approach
At CORPS EN DEVENIR, we employ a variety of techniques designed to support both the physical and emotional dimensions of well-being. Our sessions may include gentle movement exercises, guided body awareness practices, breathing techniques, relaxation exercises, and mindful reflection. The focus is always on accessibility—each technique is adapted to the individual’s capabilities and needs.
Our methodology is rooted in the understanding that each body carries its own history, experiences, and challenges. We do not offer a one-size-fits-all solution; instead, we work closely with each participant to help them discover their own path toward balance and self-awareness. This personalized approach ensures that the benefits are both tangible and long-lasting.
In addition to individual sessions, CORPS EN DEVENIR organizes group workshops and activities. These sessions allow participants to experience collective energy and support, learning not only from the practices themselves but also from the shared experiences of others. The group environment encourages collaboration, empathy, and mutual respect, which further enhances personal growth and social connection.
Our Values
The foundation of CORPS EN DEVENIR rests on several core values that guide every aspect of our work:
- Respect: We honor the uniqueness of every individual and their journey. Every session is conducted in a non-judgmental space where personal boundaries are respected.
- Accessibility: Our methods are designed to be inclusive, ensuring that anyone, regardless of age, physical ability, or life circumstances, can participate.
- Compassion: We approach each interaction with kindness and empathy, recognizing the challenges and aspirations of those who seek our support.
- Integrity: We are committed to ethical practice, transparency, and consistency in all our activities.
- Growth: We believe that self-discovery and personal development are lifelong processes, and we strive to provide the tools and support to foster continuous growth.
These values are not merely words; they are lived experiences within our association. Every decision, every workshop, and every interaction reflects our dedication to these principles.
Our Community
CORPS EN DEVENIR is also about community. While our methods focus on individual growth, we recognize the importance of social connection. The association has grown into a network of people who share a common interest in personal well-being and mindful living. Members of our community often describe the atmosphere as warm, supportive, and inspiring—a place where they feel understood and valued.
We encourage participants to share their experiences, learn from one another, and build relationships that extend beyond the walls of our premises. In doing so, CORPS EN DEVENIR becomes more than a place for workshops and sessions—it becomes a hub of connection, dialogue, and shared growth.
Our Journey
Since our founding in 1995, CORPS EN DEVENIR has evolved in response to the needs of our participants and the broader understanding of wellness practices. Over the decades, we have refined our techniques, expanded our programs, and continuously sought innovative ways to support holistic well-being.
While our mission has remained consistent, our methods have grown more sophisticated and adaptable. We integrate new insights from body-centered practices, mindful approaches, and wellness research while maintaining the simplicity and accessibility that have always defined our work. This balance between tradition and innovation allows us to serve a diverse range of individuals while staying true to our core philosophy.
